Environmental Day is here, and so is the perfect excuse to invest in sustainable pieces. And to do so, if you are searching for brands that offer sustainability? With so many brands, it may be confusing for you to make a mindful choice. So, here’s a clear explanation of sustainable practices that benefit nature and us. As demand to reduce waste and save our planet increases, here are a few ways to celebrate World Environmental Day in style. Let’s delve in.
5 ways Zlaata saves our planet from producing waste
Bulk Production
Contributing to World Environmental Day by sharing a reel for the betterment of our planet isn’t on Zlaata’s checklist. Instead, we implement better practices in our day-to-day operations to prevent such happenings. Firstly, we identified a common practice used by fast-fashion brands and addressed it. Yes, you all guessed it right. We addressed major concerns on overproduction; instead, we keep one or two styles in stock and stitch the rest as orders come in. By doing so, it prevents excessive stock from ending up in landfills.
This way, we don’t contribute to the 92 million tonnes of textile waste dumped every year.
Upcycle to create unique pieces
Fabric scraps are among the major contributors to fabric waste dumped in landfills. To reduce waste from the garments we curate, we began repurposing fabric scraps and trims into usable pieces such as sanitary pouches, scrunchies, sling bags, and other bags. This way, we have addressed one of the biggest environmental issues and reshaped it into an artful piece. Here is a minimal yet stylish yellow mini sling bag that can give a stylish twist.
Reusing for different occasions
Another important factor to consider before shopping is whether the fit is versatile enough to style for various occasions or is just a one-time thing. This is again a common concern every woman faces when shopping for their occasional wardrobe. To avoid this, we have curated a wide range of festive wear for women that is versatile in style for different occasions.
Style Zlaata’s two or three ethnic sets together for a put-together look, or style them as separates for an elegant, festive look. If you are in search of traditional, versatile fits with a modern edge, this purple halter-neck kurta set from the Adayein collection is a great pick. This artistic piece adds a contemporary edge to your look. They also look great when styled as separates with different tops. Perfect for festive gatherings, wedding guests, and formal social events.
Artisanal Touch
Zlaata works with local artisans to create outfits with novel details and to purchase raw materials. That complements both style and the fair use of available resources, reducing the carbon footprint. To offer comfort and avoid harming the environment, we chose cotton fabric for our Ikat Reimagined collection, which is biodegradable. One piece that’s worth mentioning here is the blue ikat-printed co-ord set. With a statement print and vibrant color, this blazer-and-skort co-ord set offers a stylish shift from your usual look. As an added advantage, this outfit is made from pure cotton, benefiting both nature and us.
Conclusion
Hope these simple yet effective everyday practices will help in making a mindful fashion choice. If you are unsure which brand to choose, explore Zlaata’s curated collection to help create a greener environment while making a stylish statement. Explore styles that are here to care for the planet.
